WILD BRUNETTE - WILD RICE BROWN ALE

My signature brown ale is inspired by a special lady. It has rich toasted malt, soft chocolate and dark fruit flavors, with subtle vanilla notes. It is complex and smooth, and just like that wild brunette, simply phegnomenal.

7.2% ABV | 50 IBUs

6 KNOT - INDIA PALE ALE

My IPA is a balanced, layered flavor experience. Malt goodness intertwined with hoppy intrigue. I swiped the British style and replaced the monarchy with a gnomarchy.

6.9% ABV | 50 IBUs

OLD 8 - PORTER

My porter is a flavor party on your palate. Huge malt yum with chocolate mocha smoke dancing with hop spiciness and zest. For the gastrognome in all of us.

8% ABV | 60 IBUs

LITTLE BARLEY - SESSION ALE

My fine American ale is brewed with choice barley and hops for smooth, easy-drinking enjoyment. Not bitter. Not sweet. Mmmm. Gnome good beer.

4.2% ABV | 18 IBUs

Artfully crafted beer

Barley John’s is brewer owned and operated with roots in a Minnesota Brewpub where demand outgrew capacity.

It started when Laura asked John, then an enthusiastic home brewer, if there are brown ales, red ales, even blond ales—why not a brunette ale? With that spark, John developed his signature wild rice brown ale, the Wild Brunette. Before long, he had to expand his home brew setup because friends were drinking all his beer, eventually opening a beloved neighborhood brew pub. When demand there outgrew supply, the full brewery and tap room in Wisconsin was the next logical step.
